He put a career-best eight of those shots through the net to finish as Portland's leading scorer.

Ben McLemore closed Tuesday's 113-95 loss to the Magic with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes.With the Blazers fielding a depleted roster after a series of trades, McLemore found himself in the starting lineup in the place typically occupied by CJ McCollum, who was sent to New Orleans earlier Tuesday. Going forward, McLemore will likely be in position to pick up increased minutes, though the Blazers may favor younger players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, CJ Elleby and Josh Hart over McLemore, who turns 29 on Friday.

Trail Blazers' Ben McLemore: Steps up with 19 points Saturday
Ben McLemore had 19 points (5-13 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Saturday's 137-108 loss to Milwaukee.McLemore surprisingly tied Anfernee Simons for the team lead in scoring in the lopsided loss. It was McLemore's highest scoring effort since Jan. 10 and came on the heels of a rough four-game stretch during which he averaged only 3.5 points per contest. McLemore is capable of putting together big scoring performances on occasion, and he could see more playing time after Portland traded Robert Covington and Norman Powell to the Clippers, but you probably want to see a string of productive performances before plucking him off the fantasy waiver wire.
